Manchester United are reportedly considering Laurent Blanc as a potential replacement for Louis van Gaal should they fail to land Pep Guardiola.

United’s hierarchy are widely understood to be discussing Van Gaal’s future at Old Trafford, with the club’s current run of six games without a win the worst it has endured for 17 years.

While many news outlets are claiming that Jose Mourinho is the Dutchman’s most likely replacement, BuzzSport suggest Pep Guardiola remains their first choice, but that Blanc is being eyed as a potential alternative.

Blanc had a spell at Old Trafford in his playing days and has enjoyed a strong managerial career so far, winning the Ligue 1 title with both Bordeaux and PSG.
